Instead, police said the man drove with a broken windshield and front-end damage to a mobile home park nearly 2 miles away. He parked and abandoned the minivan.

"I do have a message for the driver," Moore said. "Turn yourself in."

Residents in the neighborhood looked on with disbelief as investigators tried to determine if the driver ever slowed down.

"I was in the backyard," Henry said. "I didn't hear any brakes, no squealing of tires. The witnesses told the officer when he arrived on scene that he was going fast."

The deadly hit-and-run touched Moore, who had just given a warning to students at two graduations earlier in the day.

"My parting remarks to the boys and girls were, 'Have a great summer, a safe summer, and if you're out riding your bikes, please be careful. Wear your helmets,'" Moore said. "So to have this happen just hours after, it just tears me up."
